This New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) project will continue and expand the Secure Computing Initiative (SCI) as part of the CyberCorps®: Scholarship for Service (SFS) program. SCI is designed to prepare the next generation of cybersecurity professionals to fulfill the national need for cybersecurity experts, while promoting diversity, learning, and discovery. SCI has been successful in recruiting, training, and placing highly qualified cybersecurity experts in government positions since 2016. The SCI project recruits students in their junior or senior undergraduate year and supports them through the completion of one of two cybersecurity master’s degrees offered at NJIT: MS in Cyber Security and Privacy or MS in Information Technology Administration and Security. The project also includes several activities to recruit a diverse student body, such as working with the NJIT’s Murray Center for Women in Technology to enhance gender diversity, collaborating with the NJIT chapters of Hispanic and African American professional societies to enhance racial/ethnic diversity, and cooperating with the NJIT’s Educational Opportunity Program office to recruit students from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds.The SCI cybersecurity education model is characterized by seven features: flexible cybersecurity curricula, experiential learning, research-supported education, nurturing students’ creativity, a cybersecurity technology watch activity, fostering students’ abilities to work under stress, and multi-tier mentoring. NJIT has a strong commitment to cybersecurity education, demonstrated by more than 40 courses that focus on this area. As a result, NJIT’s undergraduate and graduate programs allow the SCI students flexibility in choosing their area of cybersecurity specialization. In addition, SCI incorporates experiential learning projects that map to the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Cybersecurity Workforce framework. SCI scholars are required to participate in a research project with a mentor drawn from a pool of research-active faculty who teach and conduct research in cybersecurity. Creativity is stimulated through training in design-thinking approaches for research projects and working in interdisciplinary teams. To keep the students abreast of evolving cybersecurity threats, SCI organizes a cybersecurity technology watch, which consists of investigating recent cybersecurity breaches, analyzing them, and drawing lessons from them. To develop appropriate skills for work under stress, the SCI students participate in cybersecurity competitions, in which they typically have to solve practical problems in a limited amount of time. Finally, SCI is structured for a multi-tier mentoring approach that includes guidance/feedback both from the PIs and peers serving as mentors. In addition to training the next generation cybersecurity workforce, SCI also produces scientific results and publicly available software that helps advance the discipline of cybersecurity. Many of the SCI activities involve contact with the general public and are likely to sensitize society at large to the importance of cybersecurity. The outreach activities also include enrichment programs that focus on cybersecurity education for high school students.This project is supported by the CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) program, which funds proposals establishing or continuing scholarship programs in cybersecurity and aligns with the U.S. National Cyber Strategy to develop a superior cybersecurity workforce. Following graduation, scholarship recipients are required to work in cybersecurity for a federal, state, local, or tribal Government organization for the same duration as their scholarship support.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该新泽西理工学院（NJIT）项目将继续并扩展安全计算计划（SCI），作为CyberCorps®：服务奖学金（SFS）计划的一部分。SCI旨在培养下一代网络安全专业人员，以满足国家对网络安全专家的需求，同时促进多样性，学习和发现。自2016年以来，SCI已成功招聘，培训和安置高素质的网络安全专家担任政府职位。SCI项目招收大三或大四本科生，并通过完成NJIT提供的两个网络安全硕士学位之一来支持他们：网络安全和隐私硕士或信息技术管理和安全硕士。该项目还包括几项活动，以招募一个多样化的学生团体，如与NJIT的默里中心的妇女在技术，以提高性别多样性，与西班牙裔和非洲裔美国人的专业协会NJIT分会合作，以提高种族/民族多样性，并与NJIT的教育机会计划办公室合作，从弱势社会中招收学生，SCI的网络安全教育模式具有七个特点：灵活的网络安全课程、体验式学习、研究支持的教育、培养学生的创造力、网络安全技术观察活动、培养学生在压力下工作的能力以及多层次的指导。NJIT对网络安全教育有着坚定的承诺，40多门专注于这一领域的课程证明了这一点。因此，NJIT的本科和研究生课程允许SCI学生灵活选择他们的网络安全专业领域。此外，SCI还结合了与国家网络安全教育倡议（NICE）网络安全劳动力框架相对应的体验式学习项目。SCI学者必须参加一个研究项目，导师来自一个研究活跃的教师池，他们在网络安全方面进行教学和研究。通过研究项目的设计思维方法培训和跨学科团队工作来激发创造力。为了让学生了解不断变化的网络安全威胁，SCI组织了一个网络安全技术观察，其中包括调查最近的网络安全漏洞，分析它们，并从中吸取教训。为了培养在压力下工作的适当技能，SCI学生参加网络安全竞赛，他们通常必须在有限的时间内解决实际问题。最后，SCI的结构是一个多层次的指导方法，包括指导/反馈，从PI和同行担任导师。除了培训下一代网络安全工作人员，SCI还产生科学成果和公开可用的软件，以帮助推进网络安全学科。许多SCI活动涉及与公众的接触，并可能使整个社会对网络安全的重要性敏感。该项目由CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service（SFS）计划提供支持，该计划资助建立或继续网络安全奖学金计划的提案，并与美国国家网络战略保持一致，以培养一支上级网络安全人才队伍。毕业后，奖学金获得者需要在联邦，州，地方或部落政府组织的网络安全工作与他们的奖学金支持相同的时间。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
